Описание: During the half-millennium from the eleventh through the sixth centuries BC, the power and the glory of the imperial pharaohs of the New Kingdom crumbled in the face of internal crises and external pressures, ultimately reversed by invaders from Nubia and consolidated by natives of the Nile Delta following a series of Assyrian invasions.Much of this era remains obscure, with little consensus among Egyptologists. Against this background, Aidan Dodson reconsiders the evidence and proposes a number of new solutions to the problems of the period. He also considers the era's art, architecture, and archaeology, including the royal tombs of Tanis, one of which yielded the intact burials of no fewer than five pharaohs. Afterglow of Empire is extensively illustrated with images of this material, much of which is little known to non-specialists.

Описание:
This book presents a new analysis of the organization, structure and changes of the pharaonic state through three millennia of its history. Moreno Garc a sheds new light on this topic by bringing to bear recent developments in state theory and archaeology, especially comparative study of the structure of ancient states and empires. The role played by pharaonic Egypt in new studies often reiterates old views about the stability, conservatism and 'exceptionalism' of Egyptian kingship, which supposedly remained the same across the Bronze and Iron Ages.
Ancient Egypt shared many parallels with other Bronze and Iron Age societies as can be shown by an analysis of the structure of the state, of the limits of royal power, of the authority of local but neglected micro-powers (such as provincial potentates and wealthy non-elite), and of the circulation and control of wealth. Furthermore, Egypt experienced deep changes in its social, economic, political and territorial organization during its history, thus making the land of the pharaohs an ideal arena in which to test applications of models of governments and to define the dynamics that rule societies on the longue dur e. When seen through these new perspectives, the pharaonic monarchies appear less exceptional than previously thought, and more dependent on the balance of power, on their capacity to control the kingdom's resources and on the changing geopolitical conditions of their time.

Описание: In 1798, young French general Napoleon Bonaparte entered Egypt with a veteran army and a specialist group of savants--scientists, engineers, and artists--his aim being not just conquest, but the rediscovery of the lost Nile kingdom. A year later, in the ruins of an old fort in the small port of Rosetta, the savants made a startling discovery: a large, flat stone, inscribed in Greek, demotic Egyptian, and ancient hieroglyphics. This was the Rosetta Stone, key to the two-thousand-year mystery of hieroglyphs, and to Egypt itself. Two years later, French forces retreated before the English and Ottoman armies, but would not give up the stone. Caught between the opposing generals at the siege of Alexandria, British special agents went in to find the Rosetta Stone, rescue the French savants, and secure a fragile peace treaty. Discovery at Rosetta uses French, Egyptian, and English eyewitness accounts to tell the complete story of the discovery, decipherment, and capture of the Rosetta Stone, investigating the rivalries and politics of the time, and the fate of the stone today.

Описание: Der Erste Nil-Katarakt stellt in vielerlei Hinsicht eine Ungewohnlich reiche Landschaft fur die Untersuchung der verschiedensten Epochen und Kulturen dar. Vor dem Hintergrund verbindender wie trennender naturraumlicher Faktoren vollzieht sich der kulturelle Wandel und kann uber einen Zeitraum von mehr als 5000 Jahre verfolgt werden. Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes beleuchten dies von den unterschiedlichsten Blickwinkeln und den Methoden verschiedener Disziplinen. Beginnend mit den jungsten Ergebnissen zur Zuzugsgeschichte des Niltals werden soziologische Ansatze, archaologische Berichte aus aktuellen Ausgrabungen und philologische Einzelstudien zu Personengruppen und Zeitepochen bis in das 15. Jh. hinein ausgefuhrt. Die Beitrage geben so einen Eindruck von den Moglichkeiten, die diese Region fur eine moderne, epochenubergreifende Kulturgeschichte bietet. Sie gehen auf ein Internationales Symposium im September 2007 in Berlin zuruck und wurden fur die vorliegende Veroffentlichung aktualisiert.
